ICC Women's World Cup Preview, with Kristy Havill

The Top Order Cricket Podcast

We love a World Cup at the Top Order Podcast and after a year’s delay, the 2021 Women’s ODI World Cup is about to begin. So to help us look ahead to the next month of action, we’re joined by contributing writer at Locker Room, Canterbury Magician and World Cup Operations Coordinator (among many other things!) Kristy Havill.

• How much should we read into the White Ferns' 4-1 ODI series win against India?
• Is it serious that teams could contest a game with only 9 fit players?
• Have the White Ferns settled on a starting XI?
• Is Amelia Kerr's incredible run of form a sign of things to come?
• Which teams will make the semi-finals?
• Who are the players to watch?
• And can anyone beat Australia?

If you want to hear or read more from Kristy Havill, the link below is a great place to start: https://www.newsroom.co.nz/lockerroom/profile/Kristyhavill/posts. It includes her brave and brilliant story with Amelia Kerr, regular World Cup coverage and interviews with key players involved in the tournament.

We'll be back in your feed again next week with a preview of the upcoming Australia v Pakistan Test series, a wrap of the second Black Caps v South Africa Test and plenty more cricket from around the world.
